Verdict
Theatre Act won over a longer trip here last month but is 7lb higher and looks vulnerable as his best form is on ground with plenty of give. Noel Kelly and Donald McCain both run two in this opener. Milan Dancer may well prove the best of the former's pair but all have to give weight to the three-year-old STONE QUERCUS, who may well have followed up an earlier Perth win at Musselburgh last week had he not made a terrible mess of the final flight. His stablemate Lyme Park may well be the danger.
